From the Middle Ages and from the 17th century there are no reports of a prayer hall or a synagogue.
   
The Jewish families who had moved in since the 1860s initially attended services in the synagogue in Floß. From at least 1882 to 1889, services were held in a prayer room in the house of Joseph Wilmersdörfer. In 1889 a Jewish community center with synagogue and school could be built and furnished. The solemn inauguration of the synagogue took place on September 20, 1889 (Friday before Rosh Hashanah 5650) in the presence of Rabbi Wittelshöfer from Floß.
